Here Today... Gone To Hell!

What are the Easier Gn'R solos, that wouldn't take long to learn ?

-EM

most of GnR solos are pretty easy. For Example both kohd Solos, patience solo, welcome to the jungle solos, november rain solos, estranged solos etc.

The only harder solos are Sweet Child, One in a million and mayber dont damn me

Estranged solos are easy ?  lol

those fast parts in november rain aren't easy, (end solo)

The second Civil War Solo is easy, with the wah

of course. The lead parts are very easy. 1st Solo is easy and the 2nd one also. You can play these solos after a half year of playing. So I dont think they can be that difficult. :)

Didn't trouble me at all----->its so easy, dont cry, patience, used to love her, nightrain(except the outro), knocking on heavens door, civil war, my michelle

The It's so Easy solo looks pretty fast.

the first solo i ever learned was Dead Horse... or maybe those small solos in sweet child... my michelle is easy, but hard to play like slash's... i fixed a little on it :p
the dont cry is my fav so far.. easy and so damn cool to play!

oh, the KOHD secund solo is kinda a bitch to play with an les paul.... you cant reach the 22sc fret with your guitar at your knees... so you have to hold the guyitar up to your chest.... it looks bad ass! damn... well, i feel bad ass doing it...  : ok:

November Rain? 32nd notes at 85bpm? Yeah....real easy... :nervous:

Yeah it is pretty fast, The Perfect Crime solo must be real hard.

-EM

practice 1 week and you'll get it...

GnR have no real hard solos

well thats true in a way because u see we're not talkin here about Vai or Satriani. Were talkin about a music style where expression and feeling are the most important. The secret in that kind of music(in my opinion always) is to get the right vibe. Then it all comes out naturally.

Slash is way better than Vai and Satriani!

-EM

that may be your opinion, but Vai or Satriana are technically waaaaaay better

thats right.... i love slash's playing 1000times more than vai's and satrina put together... but they are more skilled....

the (music)taste is like an arse.. split in two.... or even more if you are a freak..

Are you all on carck?

No, seriously, you can talk to me.

 :rofl:

Vai is alright but Satriani downright sucks; maybe they are "technically" really good but Slash is still better.. all they do is play fast and there is no feeling whatsoever in their music..

-EM

i really, really, really dont like these kind of discussions...

the two small solos in sweet child are really easy... but you know them already... but they may be the easiest GNR solo to play...

the patience solo is pretty easy..

-EM

well now that I think about it the Patience solo must be the easiest GNR solo around!! :yes:
its not fast, its melodic (u can hum it :yes:) and its pretty straightforward

Hah, yeah it is pretty easy... and the first two Novmember Rain ones are... but the third  :o

-EM

Hmmm...ok, I have a couple of questions...

First question: how long have you been playing?
Second question: could you post a clip of yourself playing this?
Third question: what exactly do you think is hard?

Yeah I know really, "practice one week and you'll get it"  ::)  ::)

-EM  :peace:  :peace:  :peace:

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  :beer:

1. 2,5 years
2. Don't know how to record and post it...
3. For Example some Metallica Solos like Creeping Death or Seek & Destroy

i've learen half the brownstone solo now! well, +/- a couple of notes... i hate to play exatly like slash (or anyone else for that sake..)... so i just add a couple of note's here and there! and hope it sounds just as good!  : ok:    

and the b-stone solo isnt really hard....

Dude... no one believes that you can play it easily... sure... I mean, I have been playing 7 years and I still regard that as a 'hard' solo... I can play it sure... but... it's still a hard solo.

You better post or you will be branded a liar here.

To be honest - if you think that nv funeral march is easy after a couple of years plaing; you're either lying, or a very talented guitarist.

Patience is easy to play well, as is KOHD. So fine.

Estranged isn't easy, you've got to be taking the piss. I can play it - I couldn't after a year or so. You've got to be realistic here.

The two pre-solo's to SCOM are pretty easy, but the tone took me a while to get good....

What is the hardest Gn'R solo?

-EM

There are 10 times harder solos out there. Maybe NV is not easy, but hard? I dont think so ;)
And Estranged solo isnt that hard, NV is way harder..

End of nightrain is probably the hardest to play, unless I'm missing something.

Maybe 'One In A Million' as it's on an acoustic...

that solo kicks ass.

i'm listening to the one in a million solo right now and it don't sound hard at all..

One In A Million is hard to play

One in a million is not difficult at all... GNR doesnt have too many difficult songs.. Maybe perfect Crime, Garden of eden, Dont damn me.. Thats about it

You guys really should try to learn some ozzy songs... Mr. Crowley, thats what I call a difficult song

yeah, Dont Damn Me is a bitch... but a classic riff... soooo under mentioned.

you mean underestimated? sure, its not mentioned enough either!  : ok:

dont damn me is dead easy on bass! i love playing it! i never get the riff on guitar.... but i not trying too much either...  :beer:

It just came to my mind that Nightrain outro is preety tough too...

And it came to my mind the most difficult song ever: Disposable Heroes by Metallica

HOLY SHIT that is fuckin impossible

Well yeah, it involves some A dorian combined with the A blues scale and stuff and I still cant get it right till the end... Most of the times I improvise on that one : ok:

playing a solo is not only about playing the notes its also about playing with feeling and thats the hard part.
By the way im new here and i look forward to getting to know you guys. :beer:

right!
but when i learn a solo, i dont even try to sound like slash, just let slash work guide me.. it might end up sounding pretty much the same, but i like to just do my own little twist in them!  : ok:

welcome dude...

Amen to that dude.

Slashisthebest ... guitar player ever

 ;D

The best guitarists ever (not in order) jerry garcia, slash, angus young, jimmy page, jimi hendrix, stevie ray vaughan, van halen, eric clapton, dave gilmour... im prob missing a few, and oh yeah kurt cobain dosent belong on this list...

Yeah slash rules and why the hell is kurt cobain on some of those lists he isnt that good

He sucks and dosen't belong on any lists.

Well, technically he wasn't exactly Shawn Lane, but as a songwriter he was pretty good.  And clearly these lists aren't compiled entirely on technique, because if they were they'd be full of Jazz, Fusion, Country and a few Metal guitarists and zero Blues guitarists and probably no rock guitarists.

Someone said to me the other day that Kirk Hammett was the best technical guitarist in the world.  I laughed so hard I started crying.  They tried to argue with me that he was.  I try to avoid talking to people with such low IQ's normally.

maybe he is in the top top 100.. angus young is better than him

Who? Hammett? His technique is miles better than Young, who's technique is pretty shit really.

yeah kirk is better technically...........but i like angus's style a lot.......dunno why........especially with the fact that a lot of his solo's aren't exactly hard (shook me all night long, highway to hell etc).

i been playing for a little over 3 months now.........and i really really hate learning other ppl's solo's.......its a damn bitch with the timing and everything. Never learnt a guns n roses solo......nor do i plan to unless the time comes that i need to. Only solo i've ever learnt note for note is the one from detroit rock city.

If i cover a song, for the solo i have the tune in my head......i know the scales it uses............so i just let it rip as best as i can technically do. I dunno i just find it better to learn how to solo yourself, although you wont impress your friends because yours sounded different from the way its supposed to be played, atleast your playing your own way. Thats the most important thing (to me anyway)..........unless your in a cover band.

I dunno maybe i'll learn some proper solos in 5 years time. Thats my 2 cents on the solo discussion.

Kirk Hammet is deffinitly not better than Angus Young , metallica is highly overrated band..

yeah, but i think its ipmortant, when you are a begginer, to learn solo's for the speed's sake... heel, if i didnt play the solo's i know, my sped would have sucked.. wich is atctulay does anyway, so :p
but if you can make a solo when a beginner that sounds good, go ahead!  : ok:
oh, when i learn a solo, i dont even try to copy the artist..... i mean, you can play exactly like Slash or Angus or whoever, wow.... ? big deal...  :peace:  but if you play those solo, you aree doing something right :p

Angus is a better technician than Kirk?

Are you serious?

Angus is better than Kirk and Slash is better than them both, technically.

Sorry dude, but Angus DEFINATELY isnt better techinically than Hammet. You may prefer angus, but if you listen to metallicas solos, especially the old ones (disposable heroes, master of puppets, the four horsemen) you?ll easily note that Kirk is WAAAAAY better techinically

Maybe a little faster, not better.

heheheh.. a LITTLE faster?? Besides, I never said kirk hammet was better, I said he?s better techinically, which he in fact is

Hammett's better technically.

listen to Thunderstruck

What about it?  The riff isn't exactly hard and the solo is messy.

Look, I'm one of the biggest AC/DC fans you'll ever meet, and I think Angus is an amazing guitarist, but not because of his technique, which is not as good as Hammett's.  I dunno why you think it is...I mean, even Angus says his technique is crap. ???

Oh come on people, Kirk Hammet isnt that great and your trying to make him out to be better than legendary Angus Young of the legendary band AC/DC when all Hammet is a little faster..

I give up...

hehe.. i know how you are feeling... its like having a Buckethead VS. Slash discussion to a Slash admirerer...
here, have this candy bar, it will give you the strenght to discuss more, dont give in! DAMN YOU! DONT GIVE IN!!!  :hihi: :peace:


back on topic: how the hell did we go from Easy GNR solos to the battle between Angus and Hammet?!??

Ok everyone, new battle....... Stevie Ray Vaughan vs. Eric Clapton... discuss

I don't know who to vote for on this one... but I think Eric Clapton is a little better although SRV is a tad faster...

*looking around* cool he isnt here..

check this out!
*doing my best jarmo voice*
Hey, get back on topic, or ill ban ya mo fo! start your own topic about guitar "wars" if not, its lockie lockie for this thread...."

did i do good?

i just hope i dont wake up banned  : ok: :hihi:

Well, as you used the argument: "listen to thunderstruck" (which is a preety easy song) I think I should recommend you to listen to The Four Horsemen. Even if youre not convinced that hammet is better (youll be after listening to that song) its still a great song  : ok:

About Clapton VS SRV, clapton is better... hes one of the most creative guitarrists ever. He can create like 50 different licks out of 4 notes

RENAME THE THREAD TO GUITAR BATTLES.

jesus... only a mod can rename this thread... so why dont YOU just make a NEW damned topic? THIS topic is for discussing (easy) GNR solo's...

EM, yes, I know it's you.

Shut up.

how about making my guitar battle thread sticky please ? thanks in advance

wait to see how popular it gets, and you should've PMed me.  Noone really wants to know in a thread about easy GnR solos. ::)

Oh by the way, live and let die. ;)

i dont really get that "solo".... in my mind it isnt a solo... same as Think About You... i think of them more like something that just goes with the music.. kinda like a little lead part in the rythm, but no real outstanding solo...

the intro for SCOM's really ez :yes:

I'm a newbie on guitar and I wonder where I can find the best tabs for GN'R songs? And any suggestions on what songs I should start with would be nice?  ;D

No way.  ::)

Actually that's the first lead bit I learnt. (Or maybe the second, after that La Bamba intro).

(Although I must admit, it's a bitch to perfect... SCOM that is.)

Well the best tabs, in my opinion, are always found in the official tab books (check out the likes of Amazon etc. if you can't find them on the shelf at a local store), but there are limitless internet sites where people post their own interpretations of tabs eg. www.guitarnotes.com. If you use these tabs, best to check out a few different ones for each song you are trying to learn, as there is no guarantee that they are all 100% correct.

If you're just starting on guitar, the likes of Patience or Knocking on Heaven's Door are good introductions to the GNR catalogue... I wouldn't advise jumpting straight in and trying to play Appetite for Destruction stuff etc. if you're a beginner; have to crawl before you walk!

www.power-tab.net/ will help you it's a good program and it'll play through it with you.

Get the tabs from http://www.powertabs.net/

You could try starting with the rhythm stuff from 'Don't Cry' that's pretty simple.

I find that offensive.  ::)

Slash's work speaks for itself: he is the very best! :love: :love: :love:

:peace:

only when he uses a talkbox!!
BAM! Captain P?l is in'da zone!!! :D

Like someone said, if you ara after the most technically skilled guitarist...none of these guys would be on there. The list would be filled with classical, jazz, blue grass players nobody probably ever heard of before.

Some people think Eruption by Van Halen is hard (and I agree, it is very hard) until they try playing a classical song and realize what impossible truly means.

Sorry to resurrect this topic, but...

"Used To Love Her" is probably the easiest GN'R song to learn, for a beginner.

"Knockin' On Heaven's Door" and "Patience" are right up there with it too.

UTLH and KOHD are three chords a piece, and "Patience" is (counts), 5. (6, if you count the one F chord at the very end.)

"Its So Easy" is relatively easy too, once you get the timing down. "Mama Kin" is fun to play, and not too hard either.

-Jeff

Mama Kin solo???  For a beginner?  I don't think so somehow...

What've you been smoking lessy?

Not necessarily the solo, Miz. T0he rhythm part is very easy, and if you know the proper key and scales to mess around with, the solo isn't that hard either.

-Jeff

The solo is just fast.  There's no two ways about it, a beginner wouldn't have a chance.  Anyone playing under 2 years wouldn't have a chance.

Go change your strings :P

anyone playing under 2yrs wouldn't have a chance eh

i havent heard the gunners version. couldnt find it on kazaa. but i found a version of it on guitar pro. its pretty short, but real fast. is that the one?

hmmm 16th notes at 156bpm. biggest challenge would be the 16th note triplets that make a tiny appearence :nervous:

i've been playing for around 9 months now.........and i can manage some runs up the whole neck at 16th notes at 140bpm.........any faster and i get real sloppy or start playing triplet notes instead or something.

but i think i could manage this one in a while. its definetly tough, but i'm gonna start learning it. im gonna take ur challenge and see if i can do it by a years playing which would be mid november when i started last year. this is gonna screw up my practice schedule but ah well.

your on miz. i'll raise the stakes and see if i can play it cleanly with only one years playing.

oh....and if/when i record it......it'll be my 15watt amp next to the standard mic in the computer...........oh yeah! :smoking:

actually scratch that challenge.........i just discovered my mic on my comp doesnt even work.

by the time i buy proper recording equipment i would have been playing a lot longer than 2 years.

im still gonna attempt to learn it........there's just gonna be no way for me to prove my success/failure.
